What is covered

Our policy is tailored for estate and letting agents to cover:

• defence on a "duty to defend" basis (for more information, click here)
• negligence or a breach of duty of care: we cover your client’s business against giving bad advice such as underselling a property or arranging a tenancy agreement on the wrong basis
• privacy: if confidential information is misused we will cover your client, for example if property details are inadvertently passed on to a burglar
• rectification: putting right lost or damaged non-electronically held documents of a professional nature
• court attendance: we cover costs for your client or an employee of your client, required as part of a claim against them, to attend court up to a specified limit
• crisis containment: offers immediate and 24hr access to a specialist crisis management PR firm, up to a limit of £25,000 in costs.
